Szymczak-Pajor I, Drzewoski J, Wenclewska S, Śliwińska A. Metformin-Associated Gastrointestinal Adverse Events Are Reduced by Probiotics: A Meta-Analysis. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2024; 17:898. [PMID: 39065748 PMCID: PMC11279730 DOI: 10.3390/ph17070898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2024] [Revised: 06/27/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Metformin, one of the most frequently used oral glucose-lowering drugs (GLDs), is associated with the occurrence of gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events in approximately 20% of users. These unwanted actions result in non-compliance or even discontinuation of metformin therapy. The aim of the presented meta-analysis was to determine whether adding a drug from the group of sulfonylureas, glitazones, DPP-IV inhibitors, or probiotics to metformin monotherapy may affect the risk of GI side effects. The material for this meta-analysis comprised data from 26 randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) published in English. This meta-analysis included 41,048 patients. The PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Clinical Trials databases were thoroughly searched to find relevant RCTs. The Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Study Type (PICOT) structure was used to formulate study selection criteria and the research question. Cochrane Review Manager Software 5.4 was used to carry out analysis of collected data. The results were presented as relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for each group, and p < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. As expected from clinical practice, metformin was associated with a markedly increased risk of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting compared to placebo. In comparison to other GLDs, taking metformin was related to an elevated risk of diarrhea and abdominal pain and to a lowered risk of vomiting and bloating. In turn, adding other GLDs to metformin treatment was associated with an elevated risk of nausea and vomiting than treatment with metformin in monotherapy. However, adding probiotics to metformin therapy was related to a decreased risk of diarrhea, bloating, and constipation. The obtained results demonstrate that the combination of metformin with other GLDs may elevate the risk of nausea and vomiting, whereas combination with probiotics decreases the risk of diarrhea, bloating, and constipation. Thus, the results of our meta-analysis suggest that probiotics may reduce the risk of some GI side effects in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who started treatment with metformin.

Abstract
Objective Several oral antidiabetic regimens are available for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) being one of them. We conducted a network meta-analysis (NMA) comparing DPP4i plus metformin (Met) combination with other Met-based oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) combinations used in treating patients with T2DM. Methods We searched PubMed and Embase from inception until 19th April, 2022 for phase II and phase III trials in patients with T2DM on Met-based traditional OADs. The primary outcome was assessed by change in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and 2-hour post-prandial blood glucose (2h-PPG). The secondary safety outcomes assessed were hypoglycemic events, serious adverse events (SAEs), cardiovascular (CV) events, and gastrointestinal (GI) events. Results Sixty-two trials were included in the analysis. The combination of DPP4i + Met revealed a comparable mean reduction in HbA1c levels to the glinides (Gli) + Met combination (mean difference [MD]: -0.03%, 95% CI: 0.69, -0.65), although the difference was not statistically significant. The mean HbA1c reduction with DPP4i + Met was greater than with sulfonylureas (SU) + Met (MD: -0.05, 95% CI: -0.29, 0.39), thiazolidinedione (TZD) + Met (MD: -0.69, 95% CI: -1.39, -0.02), and SU + TZD (MD: 0.21; 95% CI: -1.30, 1.71), with no statistical significance. DPP4i + Met demonstrated a non-significant lower incidence of CV events in comparison to TZD + Met (RR: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.46, 2.45) and SU + Met (RR: 1.06, 95% CI: 0.61, 2.06). Conclusion DPP4i in combination with Met was efficacious and had a well-tolerated safety profile compared with other traditional OADs. This combination can be considered as a suitable treatment option for patients with T2DM.

Fitoterapia 2024; 174:105839. [PMID: 38296169 DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2024.105839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
Castilleja genus comprises approximately 211 species, some of them exhibiting potential in treating various diseases. Remarkably, despite its abundance, there is a significant lack of scientific studies that explore the chemical composition and/or therapeutic activity of this genus. In this work, the chemical composition of Castilleja arvensis was determined, and its antihyperglycemic activity was evaluated in vivo, in vitro, and ex vivo. Hydroalcoholic extract of C. arvensis (HECa) was obtained from the maceration of aerial parts. HECa was fractionated by liquid-liquid extractions to obtain the CH2Cl2 fraction (DF), EtOAc fraction (EF), n-BuOH fraction (BF) and aqueous residue (AR). The antihyperglycemic activity was determined in vivo through oral glucose and sucrose tolerance tests in normoglycemic CD-1 mice. Ex vivo assays were performed to determine intestinal glucose absorption, muscular glucose uptake and hepatic glucose production. α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was evaluated in vitro. Phytochemical screening was carried out through conventional chromatography techniques. Structure elucidation of the isolated compounds was performed by GC-MS and NMR experiments. HECa, its fractions and AR showed significant antihyperglycemic activity in vivo. According to the in vitro and ex vivo assays, this effect can be attributed to different mechanisms of action, including a delay in intestinal glucose absorption, an improvement in insulin sensitivity, and the regulation of hepatic glucose production. These effects may be due to different metabolites identified in fractions from the HECa, including genkwanin, acacetin, verbascoside and ipolamiide. Thus, current research shows that C. arvensis is an important source of bioactive compounds for the management of glycemia.

Abstract
Breast cancer is malignant tumours in women. A large amount of data analysis shows that Metformin has been shown to play a significance role in reducing the risk of breast cancer, but the mechanism remains unclear. The hippo signalling pathway can be involved in the formation, metastasis and recurrence of breast cancer. When YAP/TAZ is activated, cells can overcome contact inhibition and enter a state of uncontrolled proliferation. Therefore, YAP/TAZ is considered a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer. Eighty breast cancer patients, forty cases of triple-negative and forty cases of HER-2+, were included in this study. In vitro and in vivo experiments were used to confirm the YAP/TAZ axis was involved in the effects of metformin on breast cancer. EMT plays an important role in breast cancer, including chemoresistance and tumour metastasis. Our results confirmed that YAP could modulate the activity of EMT, which in turn altered tumour resistance. Therefore, MET can inhibit EMT by reducing the expression of YAP, and finally achieve the therapeutic effect of breast cancer. Our findings support metformin as a novel YAP inhibitor and potentially as a novel breast cancer drug.

Abstract
The first line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes is metformin. This study aims to investigate the safety profile of metformin and metformin combination medications in older adults using pharmacovigilance data. A literature search was used to identify published clinical studies reporting safety of metformin in older patients (age ≥ 65 years old), which were then thoroughly evaluated. Additionally, a deep analysis was performed, taking into account suspected adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports submitted to the Portuguese Pharmacovigilance System involving patients with 65 years old or older, with metformin or metformin combination as the suspected drug. The results suggest that metformin is safer when used in combination with other antidiabetics than when used in monotherapy. Metformin prolonged-release tablets have a lower incidence of adverse effects compared to treatment with immediate-release metformin tablets. The analysis of the reports showed that "gastrointestinal disorders" was one of the most common classes reported, and metformin alone was the drug most commonly associated with serious gastrointestinal reactions that resulted in hospitalization. In addition, it was the drug most commonly associated with the lactic acidosis ADR. Even though most ADRs in the reports were serious, the majority progressed to cure. According to the analysis performed, the results suggest that the patient's renal function should be considered in order to prevent ADRs associated with metformin, such as lactic acidosis. Therefore, monitoring the safety profile of metformin remains essential to prevent serious ADRs.

Abstract
Glycated haemoglobin is currently used for diagnosis and follow-up of diabetes mellitus. However, it has important limitations; as it only reflects the average glycaemia over the last 3 months, it does not allow the identification of crucial events, such as episodes of hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia. Strict control of hyperglycaemia can result in severe hypoglycaemia that can be life threatening and can have important sequelae. Recently, the concept of glycaemic variability has been developed to provide information about the magnitude of glycaemic excursions and the duration of these fluctuations. This new approach has the potential to improve outcomes, decrease the risk of hypoglycaemia, and decrease cardiovascular risk. This review describes the most commonly prescribed non-insulin anti-diabetic drugs for diabetes management, their mechanism of action, and the existing evidence about their effectiveness in improving glycaemic variability and diabetes control.

Abstract
α-Glucosidase is one of the main enzymes causing elevated blood glucose, and Coreopsis tinctoria extract can be used as a natural inhibitor of α-Glucosidase. Therefore, a new method was proposed for predicting the inhibitory activity on α-Glucosidase of Coreopsis tinctoria extract based on near infrared spectroscopy. The absorbance of the inhibitory system was measured by ultraviolet spectroscopy, which was used to study the inhibitory activity on a-glucosidase of Coreopsis tinctoria extract. The near infrared spectra of the solid samples were collected. By selecting spectral preprocessing and optimizing spectral bands, a rapid prediction model of the inhibitory activity was established by partial least squares regression. The root mean square error of cross-validation (RMSECV), correlation coefficient (R) value and the ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD) value were used as indicators of the evaluation model. The near infrared spectrum model was established by combining the best spectral preprocessing of the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and the best spectral band. The root mean square error of cross-validation (RMSECV) of this model was 0.815%, the correlation coefficient (R) value was 0.942, and the ratio of prediction to deviation (RPD) was 3.0. The root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) of the model by prediction set was 0.819%, the correlation coefficient (R) value was 0.950, and the RPD was 3.2. The model shows that the fitting relationship between the predicted inhibition value and the reference inhibition value of the near infrared spectral model is good. The results showed that there was a good correlation between near infrared spectroscopy and the inhibitory activity of Coreopsis tinctoria extract. Thus, the established model was robust and effective and could be used for rapid quantification of α-Glucosidase inhibitory activity. The prediction method is simple and rapid, and can be extended to study the inhibition of other medicinal plants.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic progressive disorder and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The concept of T2DM remission and the reversal of diabetic parameters to normal levels has been gaining momentum over the past years. T2DM remission is increasingly being recognized by various global guidelines. Multiple models have been developed and validated for quantifying the extent of remission achieved. Based on favorable clinical evidence, T2DM remission can be considered as the therapeutic goal in diabetes management and, in select cases, as an alternative to expensive treatment options, which can be burdensome as T2DM progresses. This narrative review discusses the available strategies, such as lifestyle interventions, physical activity, bariatric surgery, medical nutrition therapy, and non-insulin glucose-lowering medications, for achieving T2DM remission. Although the concept of T2DM remission has emerged as a real-world option, effective implementation in routine clinical practice may not be feasible until long-term studies prove the efficacy of different approaches in this regard.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Only few studies have shown the efficacy and safety of glucose-control strategies using the quadruple drug combination. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the usefulness of the quadruple combination therapy with oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS From March 2014 to December 2018, data of patients with T2DM, who were treated with quadruple hypoglycemic medications for over 12 months in 11 hospitals in South Korea, were reviewed retrospectively. We compared glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels before and 12 months after quadruple treatment with OHAs. The safety, maintenance rate, and therapeutic patterns after failure of the quadruple therapy were also evaluated. RESULTS In total, 357 patients were enrolled for quadruple OHA therapy, and the baseline HbA1c level was 9.0%±1.3% (74.9±14.1 mmol/mol). After 12 months, 270 patients (75.6%) adhered to the quadruple therapy and HbA1c was significantly reduced from 8.9%±1.2% to 7.8%±1.3% (mean change, -1.1%±1.2%; P<0.001). The number of patients with HbA1c <7% increased significantly from 5 to 68 (P<0.005). In addition, lipid profiles and liver enzyme levels were also improved whereas no changes in body weight. There was no significant safety issue in patients treated with quadruple OHA therapy. CONCLUSION This study shows the therapeutic efficacy of the quadruple OHA regimen T2DM and demonstrates that it can be an option for the management of T2DM patients who cannot use insulin or reject injectable therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Voglibose, an α-glucosidase inhibitor, inhibits breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simple sugar units in intestine. Studies showed that voglibose metabolism in the liver might be negligible due to its poor intestinal absorption. Numerous microorganisms live in intestine and have several roles in metabolism and detoxification of various xenobiotics. Due to the limited information, the possible metabolism of voglibose by intestinal microbiota was investigated in vitro and in vivo. METHODS For the in vitro study, different concentrations of voglibose were incubated with intestinal contents, prepared from both vehicle- and antibiotics-treated mice, to determine the decreased amount of voglibose over time by using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Similarly, in vivo pharmacodynamic effect of voglibose was determined following the administration of voglibose and starch in vehicle- and antibiotic-pretreated non-diabetic and diabetic mice, by measuring the modulatory effects of voglibose on blood glucose levels. RESULTS The in vitro results indicated that the remaining voglibose could be significantly decreased when incubated with the intestinal contents from normal mice compared to those from antibiotic-treated mice, which had less enzyme activities. The in vivo results showed that the antibiotic pretreatment resulted in reduced metabolism of voglibose. This significantly lowered blood glucose levels in antibiotic-pretreated mice compared to the control animals. CONCLUSION The present results indicate that voglibose would be metabolized by the intestinal microbiota, and that this metabolism might be pharmacodynamically critical in lowering blood glucose levels in mice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The effect of voglibose on metabolic homeostasis is not well characterized. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials assessing the effect of voglibose on metabolic profile in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Google Scholar, Web of Science and Cochrane Library to identify clinical trials assessing the effects of voglibose supplementation on cardio-metabolic profile from incept up to 29 July 2019. Data was pooled using fixed- or random-effect models and weighted mean difference (WMD) as the effect size. RESULTS Eight clinical trials from 1094 reports, were eligible for inclusion. Pooled findings identified significant reductions in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (WMD= -0.27; 95 %CI -0.49 to -0.05; P = 0.01; I2 = 64.8 %) and an increase in LDL-cholesterol levels (WMD=5.97 mg/dl, 95 % CI 0.88, 11.06, P = 0.02; I2 = 0.0 %). However, no evidence of effect for voglibose intake on T2DM patients was observed for: fasting blood sugar (FBS) (WMD -7.43 mg/dl; 95 %CI -16.56 to 1.71; P = 0.110; I2 = 69.3 %), serum insulin (WMD= -0.15 μU/mL; 95 %CI -0.89 to 0.60; P = 0.70; I2 = 0.0 %), total-cholesterol (WMD=2.82 mg/dl, 95 %CI -2.36 to 8.01, P = 0.70; I2 = 49.7 %), triglycerides (WMD= -7.07 mg/dl, 95 %CI -21.76 to 7.62, P = 0.34; I2 = 0.0 %), HDL-cholesterol levels (WMD= -2.10 mg/dl, 95 %CI -4.48 to 0.27, P = 0.08; I2 = 0.0 %,), body mass index (BMI) (WMD=0.09 kg/m2, 95 %CI -0.70 to 0.87; P = 0.87; I2 = 0.0 %), body weight (WMD= -0.42 kg, 95 %CI -0.84 to 0.00; P = 0.05; I2 = 0.0 %), and adiponectin levels (WMD = 0.32 μg/mL, 95 %CI -0.74 to 1.38; P = 0.55; I2 = 0.0 %). CONCLUSIONS The current meta-analysis identified a decrease in HbA1c and an increase in LDL-cholesterol with administration of voglibose. However, no significant effect was observed on FBS, insulin, bodyweight, BMI, adiponectin, triglycerides, total- and HDL-cholesterol levels.
